sun inn, harrogate meet?
well if the car is operational and with new bushes ill come!

[Dan]

Depending on weather. If it's bad, might need to pick somewhere on a more major route.

[Dan]

If anyone is planning to come from afar, hasn't sorted anything out yet and would like to crash at mine afterwards, you're welcome to do so (2 sofas up for shotgun, plenty of parking).

Secondly, if anyone's up for drinking rather than driving, I'm sure I can talk the Mrs into running a pub bus from Leeds and back (ie. from mine, but can swing by anyone else in North or Central Leeds).

Courtesy of a good suggestion from Big Lee M, now looking at the Harrogate Arms as a location:

http://www.theharrogatearms.com/

It's a bit less out of the way - just on the edge of Harrogate.

It has a large car park and rooms available, so if there are a few of us who fancy having more than the one drink*, or for anyone coming a long way, we could book the family room for a pretty cheap rate per person.

Let me know what you think.

* I really have to learn to phrase things in a way that doesn't make me sound like an alcoholic

If we go the Harrogate Arms I'll be leaving my car there unless I get our lass to drive, or go into Harrogate which is a good night...........sometimes messy too ha ha.

There is another pub round the corner from the Harrogate Arms called the Pine Martin which is also a B&B if anyone can't get booked in at the Harrogate Arms(if we use it as a venue)
